25Who hath divided a hwatercourse for the overflowing of waters,
Or a way for ithe lightning of thunder;
26To cause it to rain kon the earth, where no man is;
On lthe wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27To satisfy the mdesolate and waste ground;
And to cause the bud of the ntender herb to spring forth?
28oHath the rain a father?
Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29Out of whose womb came the pice?
And the phoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
30The waters are hid as with a stone,

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
and a way for the thunderbolt,
to bring rain on a land where no man is,
on the desert in which there is no man,
to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
and to make the ground sprout with grass?
“Has the rain a father,
or who has begotten the drops of dew?
From whose womb did the ice come forth,
and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?
The waters become hard like stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain,
and a path for the thunderstorm,
to water a land where no one lives,
an uninhabited desert,
to satisfy a desolate wasteland
and make it sprout with grass?
Does the rain have a father?
Who fathers the drops of dew?
From whose womb comes the ice?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens
when the waters become hard as stone,
when the surface of the deep is frozen?

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Who cuts a channel for the flooding rain
or clears the way for lightning,
to bring rain on an uninhabited land,
on a desert with no human life,
to satisfy the parched wasteland
and cause the grass to sprout?
Does the rain have a father?
Who fathered the drops of dew?
Whose womb did the ice come from?
Who gave birth to the frost of heaven
when water becomes as hard as stone,
and the surface of the watery depths is frozen?

NLTNew Living Translation
“Who created a channel for the torrents of rain?
Who laid out the path for the lightning?
Who makes the rain fall on barren land,
in a desert where no one lives?
Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground
and make the tender grass spring up?
“Does the rain have a father?
Who gives birth to the dew?
Who is the mother of the ice?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?
For the water turns to ice as hard as rock,
and the surface of the water freezes.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
“Who has cut open a channel for the torrents
and a way for the thunder bolts,
to bring rain on a land where no one lives,
a desert where no humans live,
to satisfy desert and wasteland,
and to cause the ground to put forth the rising of grass?
Is there a father for the rain,
or who fathered the drops of dew?
From whose womb did the ice come forth,
and who fathered the frost of heaven?
Like stone the waters become hard,
and the faces of the deep freeze.
